Okay from now on, all people will be refered to as "H", for Human. Wouldn't want to make anyone have to use full names, they're just too long!

And god forbid we let the organic chemistry industry, or the medical field, or botanists, or pretty much any even half-way scientifc professional get away with naming things descriptively. From now on all molecules are "M's", all organs are "O's", all plants are "P's". Let's just hope we don't run out of letters in the alphabet, that would be double-plus-ungood!

So yeah, it is "just you", we are not "getting silly with the name/designations for cars". The long names have a very good use. They're not made up so you can hold a contest on the internet, they're actually descriptive of a particular car!

As far as the contest:

Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V-spec II N1 <- 7 names
Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V-spec II Nur <- 7 names
Mine's Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V-spec II N1 <- 8 names
Nissan Nismo Fairlady Z S-Tune GT Aero (Z33) <- 7 names
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI RS Tommy Makinen Edition <-6 names

And it's not just the Japanese that do this:

Dodge Ram Hemi 2500 SLT Quad-Cab 4x4 <- 7 names
